WASHINGTON – Minnesota’s congressional Democrats are urging President Obama to do more to help Syrians — including allowing more of those seeking refuge into the United States — as millions flee their war-ravaged country. Minnesota’s Republicans on Capitol Hill are expressing more caution, and demanding assurances that those allowed into the country are thoroughly vetted and will not threaten the nation’s security. They also blame Obama for not intervening in the civil war earlier. http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-s-del...
Six months ago, Minnesota's Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community garnered well-deserved praise when it announced a $5 million "Seeds of Native Health" initiative to tackle a daunting public health challenge: improving Native American nutrition. With the first round of grant recipients just announced, this influential southern-metro tribal nation laudably isn't pausing to take a rest. Instead, it's poised to take an ambitious step to broaden the initiative's reach. In mid-October, it will host a...

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Pope Francis is slated to canonize a controversial 18th-century Franciscan Missionary during his visit to Washington next week. But for many Native Americans, Junipero Serra is more sinner than saint. Catholic leaders say Pope Francis is familiar with the controversy and is planning to declare Junipero Serra a saint anyway during a mass at the National Basilica. A number of Native Americans are promising to be at the mass protesting. http://www.wusa9.com/story/life/faith/pope-coverage/2015/09/15/pope-fr...
Two more federal judges yesterday recused themselves from a high-profile case involving a Utah county commissioner's conviction for leading an illegal all-terrain vehicle ride through Recapture Canyon. Two other judges recused themselves Aug. 28 and last Friday.

SUQUAMISH — The Suquamish Tribe is getting into the retail marijuana business and has changed its codes to allow recreational use within its lands. But, some leaders say, that doesn’t mean the Tribe endorses marijuana use. In an earlier interview, Suquamish Chairman Leonard Forsman said Washington voters’ legalization of recreational marijuana brought the issue to the Tribe’s doorstep, forcing the Tribe to deal with the issue whether it wanted to or not. http://www.northkitsapherald.com/news/327752941.html#...
SUQUAMISH — The Suquamish Tribe has signed a marijuana compact with the State of Washington, with the intent of entering the retail marijuana market as early as this fall. “Our decision to enter into retail operations comes after careful consideration,” Suquamish Chairman Leonard Forsman said in an announcement released by the Tribe’s communications office. “With the passage of I-502, we knew we needed to adapt to the changing environment surrounding our reservation and saw an opportunity to diversify our business operations.” The retail stor...
Tribal leaders and activists in Minnesota declared victory on Monday after an appeals court dealt a setback to an oil pipeline that would cross treaty territory. In a unanimous decision, the Minnesota Court of Appeals said the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission acted prematurely by granting a "certificate of need" to the $2.6 billion Sandpiper crude oil pipeline. The ruling means the state must prepare an environmental impact statement before moving forward with a controversial project that tribes believe will harm their treaty-protected...
A long-time friend of Audrey Desjarlais says she thinks she knows how the woman, formerly known as Winnipeg's Jane Doe, spent her final days and she wonders why authorities aren't interested in hearing about it. "She often talked about going into the river," said the woman, who asked not to be identified. "That's what she always threatened." Desjarlais's body was pulled from the Red River in June 2012. But she was only identified three months ago, after DNA tests confirmed it. It was a revelation that's haunted her friend ever since....

Since the late 90s, tens of millions of ash trees have died in Michigan. They were killed by the Asian Emerald Ash Borer beetle. It’s too late to save many of Michigan’s ash trees. But the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi is taking steps to insure that the next generation of trees survives. Vic Bogosian and his team from the Pokagon Band’s Department of Natural Resources attach a pill bottle and small piece of wood on either side of a tree. Bogosian says the bottle has adult wasps that attack Emerald Ash Borer eggs. And inside the wood. http:...
